>From NA-digest last week: ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jack Dongarra <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 28 May 2004 16:17:17 -0400 Subject: LAPACK and ScaLAPACK New Functionality Survey LAPACK and ScaLAPACK new functionality survey We plan to update the LAPACK and ScaLAPACK libraries and would like to have feedback from users on what functionalities they think are missing and would be needed in order to make these libraries more useful for the community. We invite you to enter your suggestions in the form below. It would be most useful to have input by June 16th, although we would welcome your input at any time. Both LAPACK and ScaLAPACK provide well-tested, open source, reviewed code implementing trusted algorithms that guarantee reliability, efficiency and accuracy. Any new functionality must adhere to these standards and should have a significant impact in order to justify the development costs. We are also interested in suggestions regarding user interfaces, documentation, language interfaces, target (parallel) architectures and other issues, again provided the impact is large enough. We already plan to include a variety of improved algorithms discovered over the years by a number of researchers (e.g. faster or more accurate eigenvalue and SVD algorithms, extra precise iterative refinement, recursive blocking for some linear solvers, etc.). We also know of a variety of other possible functions we could add (e.g. updating and downdating factorizations), but are uncertain of their impact. Please see http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-survey.html for the survey. We would like to have your input by June 16th, 2004. Regards, Jack, Jim, and Sven ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
